That is silly.  What, Ontario is worried about? light-pollution?  It amazes
me how laws can be enforced that so miss the purpose they were intended to
accomplish.  The California air resources dudes....they won't test or even
allow engine swaps that are very much cleaner running... Forget the fact
that there is less air pollution from the swap than from a 100% perfect
original motor....if it's not on Their List....they won't have it.  Forget
making the air cleaner.... The Rules.....that seems to be the most
important thing many times.
